Gary Hume

The outer archives are busy

by Ulrich Loock, Jason Beard, Iwona Blazwick

About this book

"In Gary Hume: The Wonky Wheel, the British artist develops his unique take on the genre of history painting. With these nineteen paintings and three sculptures--all shown here for the first time--Hume unveils colorful abstractions rooted in contemporary conflict and the fragility of human life. History's progress is constant, Hume explains, but it is always wonky. The book is illustrated with full-color photographs of the artworks, including a life-size detail of each painting and sculpture. In the essay, art historian Graham Bader traces the works' roots to the mortality of painting"--Publisher's website.
